    Verbatim from the licensing guide:-

    Backup  Exec  Capacity  edition includes access to all the Backup Exec agents and options and protects up to the license capacity purchased.

    The capacity based licensing only allows you to deploy an unlimited number of Agents for Applications and Databases. No other options, including ESO, are included. Do confirm this with the Symantec Licencing Department

    @pkh: If you have a look @ the licensing guide under the Capacity Edition, it states the following:-

    The  following  backup  components  are  included:  
    •
    Backup  Exec  Server
    •
    All  agents  and  options

    Each  TB  you  purchase  includes  1  Backup  Exec  Server  and  an  unlimited amount  of  agents  and  
    options.

    So in answer to the customer's query, all options including the ESO are part of the Capacity Edition.

    ... then I am going to have a word with my reseller who told me that no options are included. Since I did not buy that license, I did not confirm this with the Symantec Licencing department
